Munster's first half against Leinster was deeply uncomfortable - their opponents beat the clock to 27 - but there was one moment to hearten Thomond Park before the break.
In the seventeenth minute, Conor Murray proved that he is not just one of the best scrum-halves in the world, but one of the best players. Unconventionally, he was lifted into the sky to pluck a lineout, meaning that Munster's second-row heft were on the ground to bludgeon their way to the try line. Murray grabbed the ball from the bottom of a ruck, then dummied, drove and dived over the try line to earn Munster's first points of the game.
